"BTW I agree that a 270/7mm bullet from a 308 or 30/06 case kills anything on the continent;based on the moose study,we should be perfectly safe taking these cartridges against brown bear and cape buffalo;but we don't.How come? "
There is history to consider as well- both in the tradition of British and Continental hunters using really big cartidges on African and Asian game as well as the fact that relatively small cartidges- .30-30, .30-40 Krag, .25-35- were seen as hot numbers against large North American game when they were first introduced.
Our expectations often color our perceptions of results.
